Yeri SongLearnㅣIMPACT CAREER Project Manager

#Communicator #Designer #Changemaker

The classic argument of “Choosing your profession between what you excel and what you enjoy the most” is a difficult question for me as well. As a matter of fact, I still cannot find the way to completely separate work and life from one another. This is why I decided to be part of the social business sector, in order to balance these two with the same value, just the way I want them to be. I hope that today, this moment, working and learning from each other, would be of significant value in my life as well as that of others.

Before joining Root Impact, Yeri worked in Policy Development Team at Korea Institute of Design Promotion. By promoting the social role and impact of design, she was captivated by changemakers that she encountered and decided to make the transition to social sector. Currently, she is working as a project manager for Impact Career W, a 6-months fellowship matching program between women with career interruptions and social ventures. She holds a BA in Advertising and Public Relations from Ewha Womans University in South Korea and a MA in Design from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom.
